Akelapan-The Loneliness Of Life, A Part Of Hollowness- Part -II

This word had been intriguing my mind since last few days as I came across a few heart broken people at ther retiring age. One such example is given from my known realtions. This is from my own family relations, where one of my sister-in-laws uncle is now around 70 plus but he is alone as he didnt have any kids, and his wife expired a few years back from a heart stroke too.

After his wide expired, he was left with no options, but to read news papers or watch TV at times. Even the nieces and nephews are all grown ups now, and hardly could give much time to him, as two of them are going to college and one is going to school. As I saw this time on my last visit, i was quite scared of my old age, as i saw most of the times he is all alone, though there is his daughter-in laws from his younger brother's side and her kids too. but still life has crippled him. He is suffering from loneliness at times when others are busy doing their with own work !!

Loneliness is a disease. But then will is be good for the old poeple to stay in the old people house where all the retiring people stay altogether, where much care is given to them too. Does all cities have such houses for such poeple ? If all the people would afford themselves be able to stay over such places ? What about other factors-the food, the tastes, the choices of dishes etc that too at the retiring age. So many issues to tackle and deal that it is an open issue to be addressed by the NGO's or the governmnet at the lower levels starting from a small locality to a populated city.

If we forget the retired people, lets take those people who did nt marry at the right time thinking that they would come across the right mates/ soul mates at a later period of time. What they do when they are alone ? Just think, simply reading, watching TV, playing games, how long they would do that ? One day, at they would get bored, and start suffering form the virus of loneliness. Should they be adviced to take up new hobbies like surfing the net, chatting with new people, abd write blogs at a new blogging site etc etc.

At the worst case some people make groups and starts gossiping, about what other people their neighbours have been doing, planning to do etc etc. This is also not a healthy way to pass away the time. Then what should be the solution to this disease ?

The people should make NGO's and make suffcient funds to make houses to accommodate the retire people althogther with the help of government and make them laugh, dance, enjoy their last days happily...!! Many cities does have this kind of houses. But not all the cities have and hnce the disease is spreading like anything. Please wake up and see there might be someone suffering from this dreadful disease of LONELINESS !!

Let us eradicate this by giving them CARE, LOVE and SUPPORT !!!
